So whoever of you sights (the crescent on the first night of) the month (of Ramadan i.e. is present at his home), he must observe Saum (fasts) that month, and whoever is ill or on a journey, the same number [of days which one did not observe Saum (fasts) must be made up] from other days.
Diulang-ulang agar jangan timbul dugaan adanya nasakh dengan diumumkannya 'menyaksikan bulan' (Allah menghendaki kemudahan bagimu dan tidak menghendaki kesempitan) sehingga oleh karenanya kamu diperbolehkan-Nya berbuka di waktu sakit dan ketika dalam perjalanan.
